    Keywords: Life & Death, Go term

A placement is understood as disconnected from one's existing stones from one's group; to succeed it should be difficult to defend against. (It's more of a tesuji than a speculative invasion.)

Artificial example

After the placement at B1, Black can connect out, either at a or at b.
